  1. Few foreign nationals probably visting China these days. There is a skew of factors in this; 1. Unfriendly politics between China, North America and Europe, 2. Scapegoat culture being part of the CCP's DNA. To divert attention from it's own totalitarian enormities heaped upon the long suffering Chinese population, they use foreigner-bashing instead. Not just white people (excluding Russians), but Japanese as well. Actually, the Japanese businesses and people in China get the brunt of this ire from no fault of their own. Finally, 3. Autarky self-induced poverty. China is a quasi-autarky (totalitarianism again), because it places high barriers upon import of foreign manufactured goods entering China as a form of protectionism. Except specilized highly-engineered products like advanced silicon chips, robots and medical products it can't make for itself for various reasons (some political-economic). Now China is in a deep economic recession, there is little consumption from the masses anymore; combination of high debt and high unemployment.

  2. Not enough consuming strength there either. Despite their population size, these countries are poor or hyper-poor
